FRANKFURT / LONDON (IT BOLTWISE) – Frankfurt’s industrial and logistics real estate market recorded a remarkable take-up of 370,600 square meters in the first three quarters of 2025, an increase of 25 percent compared to the previous year. This development is significantly influenced by the lack of new building space and the increased use of existing space. Experts predict that take-up could be just under the 500,000 square meter mark by the end of the year.

The Frankfurt industrial and logistics real estate market achieved an impressive take-up of 370,600 square meters in the first three quarters of 2025, an increase of 25 percent compared to the same period last year. These figures come from a recent analysis by global real estate service provider CBRE. Despite the tense overall economic situation, the market is dynamic, with the lack of available new building space playing a central role.
Oliver Fritz, Director of Industrial & Logistics Leasing at CBRE, emphasizes that the lack of space is likely to continue to determine market development in the future. Existing space is becoming increasingly scarce, but is popular with users due to more flexible conditions. Subletting is also becoming more important. The vacancy rate for big-box space fell by 0.9 percentage points to 0.9 percent in the third quarter, which is due to the increased leasing of existing space.
The share of new buildings in take-up of space fell by 17 percentage points to 28 percent compared to the first three quarters of 2024. This illustrates the focus on available existing space, as speculative new buildings are rare due to a lack of land suitable for logistics. This development also has an impact on rental prices: the weighted average rent rose by 15 percent to 7.76 euros per square meter per month by the end of the third quarter of 2025, while the prime rent for logistics properties rose by eight percent to 8.40 euros.
Transport and logistics companies were the most active market segment with a share of 41 percent of space turnover, followed by production companies and trading companies, including online retailers. For the full year 2025, take-up of space is expected to be just below the 500,000 square meter mark, which underlines the continued high demand for logistics space in the Frankfurt region.
